CLAIMS FOR. COMPENSATION ON THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. According to the Return made to the order of the House of Commons, for an account of the claims for compensation which have been made on the French Government by British Subjects, it appears that the total number of claims, including those o 1 the citizens of the lonian Isles, amount to one thou `sand one hundred and ninety-six, of which 113 have I -en liquidated, and 63 rejected, as not cumin; within the pnrk - • ew of the Commission. The French Commissioners have made various awards of rejection, to the L:reatest part of which the British Commissioners, after submitting them to their own Goverment, have acceded. Several of the claims have heen proposed for arbitration, but no final decision with r- - r‘ect to any of them has yet taken place.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The folhmiug are extracts : " CHAMLER OF DEPUTIES, MmtcH 16. "The Bureaux assembled to-day for the pre paratory examination of the Projet respecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade. "In the Secret Sitting on Saturday, the Scrutiny on the Projet respecting the St. Domingo Colonists had not the legal result, there being only 125 members present, instead of the half plus one of 256 Members of which the Chamber composed. The Scrutiny will be repeated to morrow. " The Committee on'the Budget assembled to day. The Report will, it is said, be made on Wednesday. "PARIS, MARCH 17.—Lieutenant-General the Count de Vignoles is appointed Prefect of the Department of Corsica, in the room of the Sieur Courbon de Saint Gencst, who is appointed Pre fect of the Department of Haute Marne, in the room of the Sieur de la Salle. " The Count de Fries arrived at Paris yestcr- (lay. " It is understood that a Courier has set out within these few days for Rome, with important dispatches on the subject of the concordat. It is said that the number of Dioceses; which, under this Treaty, were to be increased to 92, will be reduced to 78. It is certain that the best under standing prevails between the Government and the Holy See respecting every thing that relates to the affairs of the Church of France, and that the Crown and the Hierarchy will unite their ef forts to accelerate the arrangement. "'[he Duke of Wellington is etpected at his head-quarters at Cambray about Abe - end of this month. " An Englishman, calling himself John lialket 011iverson, and also George Llasluck, a native of Birmingham, was found Guilty yesterday, at the Court of Aisizes, of forging Bills of -Ex change, and other Papers, and sentenced to six years compulsory labour, and to be branded. " FIVE PER CENTS. "Monday, ex. dir. 65 f. 80 c. " MANHEIM, MARCH ]o.—We lean► front Frankfort, that the British Minister accredited to the Diet has presented to that Assembly a Note, complaining that several of the arrangements agreed upon at the Congress of Vienna have not yet been carried into effect." This morning, we received New York Papers to the 19th tilt. (Front 7'he Commercial Aevertiser of the 16th.) FROM MARTINIQUE.--Captain DELANO, of the brig Pilgrim, who arrived at Charleston on the Bth inst, in 17 days, from St. Pierres, Martini que, informs, that a new Governor for that Island arrived there from France on the 20th of January; he also reports, the markets were very bad for American produce, except beef and fish ; the former were 17 dollars per barrel, and the latter 7 per quintal. No American vessels in that Port when the Pilgrim, left it. (From The Savannah Republican of Feb. 14.) We have received intelligence from Hartford, Georgia, to the 29th ult. The Army under Ge neral GLASCOCK has returned to Hartford from the Fiint River, and were on their way home, their term of service having expired. The hostile Indians were very troublesome to the frontier in habitants, and great fears are entertained for the securi: of their persons and property; no forces except about 70 men in the Fort, in a situation not calculated to resist an enemy between them and the savages. It was impossible to procure baggage waggons at any price to enter the nation, the roads being impassable ; pack horses that were obta;ned could not penetrate into the country, owing to the badness of the roads ; in conse quence of which the troops under General GLAS. cocx suffered much from the want of provisions. General JACKSON has written to the Governor of ::•eorgi,, Informing him that he has instructions from the Secretary at War to repair to the scene of Indian warfare, and to take command, with authority to call out of this State, and those ad jacent to it, such force as will speedily put an end to the war. Extract of a Letter front Washington, dated Feb, 10. " In a le‘r d t s we may expect a communi cation from Ow EuTutive in answer to a Reso.- lotion submitted by Mr. ROBINSON, of Louisiana, calling for information on the subject of our Ne 7. _ gaciotions with Spain. When urged latterly on this subject, it was understood that Spain has proposed the mediation of Foreign Powers. Since taking possession of Amelia Island, it is generally believed that negociations have been re newed ,sith the Spanish Minister here ; it is not thought very important for the United States to urge an adjustm , .lt at present of differences so long existing to such a point as to produce War wilh Spain, or •a coalition on her account with any Foreign Power." A vessel that has arrived at Havre, which saild from New York on the 24th ult., brings intelli gence that the Commerce in the inland parts of the Country was at a complete stand, owing to the inclemency of the weather, v:hich was so se vere as to render the roads completely impassable. AS THE INDEMNITY ACT has now passed, to the full satisfaction of all wise and good men, in spite of the open clamours and insidious artifices of Faction, and as both Houses of Parliament ad journed yesterday till the 2d of next month, the people in general will be relieved from the turbu lent harangues of vain, seltish, and ambitious men, and will have thnc to reflect on the conduct of their Representatives, and on the expected Ge neral Election, return no Candidates but,suCh as ate truly attached to the Country, such as have really its Constitution at heart, sueli as are staunch in support of Our happy Establishment in Church and State, such as are resolved against all further concessions to POPERY, and are unconquerably firm in supporting, upon all occasions, a PRO. TESTANT ASCENDANCY. It appears from an inquiry recently made, that the Dutch Government arc determined to adhere to their present heavy duty on all Foreign Coils, in order to encourage the Co!levies in Flanders: . Even the repeal of our additional duties on foreign Butter and Cheese xvill not induce them to relax, having, as they declare, found a better market in Spain and Portugal for them ; under these cir cumstances, the only relief which can be afforded to the Trade is the repeal of the duties on Coals carried coastwise. Since the Lau Brink Drainage Bill was re ported, two other petitions have been presented against it ; one from the Proprietors of Land in Bedford Level, who are to be heard by Counsel, the other respecting the non-application to Pro prietors of Land for their consents to the Bill ; on the necessity of which great _doubts are enter tained by the profession. MR. CANNING 14NP THE MORNING CHRONICLE As we are always willing t correct our mis• takes, we deem it necessary to acknOWleUge an error into which we have fallen, respecting the hostility of The Morning Chronicle towards Mr. CANNING. We conceived that this hostility pro ceeded from mere Party malevolence, but we are glad to find that we have been under a miscon ception. It seems that The Chronicle has lately entered into partnership with that truly laudable Institution established for the curing of Ruptures; that, in fact, the attacks on Mr.CANNING are covert paragraphs and advertizements for the support and recommendation of that excellent Institution; and that when it accuses him of " sporting with human torture," it only means to advise people afflicted with.ruptures to procure immediate ease by resorting to it for an operation. "This disease," says The Chronicle, " is one of the greatest afflictions to which our frail system may be liable, and reduces the patient to . a state of debility often endangering his life, in case of two much exertion." These words seem to have been literally taken from ad vertisements of the firm, in which it is understood that The Chronicle has now a partner's interest. On Wednesday last, with the sante purpose of sup porting the laudable Institution which we have mentioned, The Chronicle bad the following pas sage, with the subjoined note "4 , EVery surgeon knows, and many ruptured persons, that an operatio is only necessary under certain circumstances Gf that disease, and that such circumstances are most frequently produced by some unusual exertion, fatigue, remaining lung in the erect postui e, or neglected natural effort ; and that such an operation is not a cure of the disease, but only a-pal liation of the fatal symptoms. The disease remains nearly in the same state as bei,re, and subjects the person so afflicted to bear the inconvenience of a truss ever after. " * 'llupture,—a disease occurring most frequently amongst the labouring poor.'—Med. Diet. " The operation is one of the most painful and the most dangerous to life." And, again, under the same ingenious form of a letter, there is this day the following description of the nature and consequences of ruptures, un less application is speedily made to those who are qualified to treat them, meaning, of course, the skilful Professors of the Institution alluded to, of which The Chronicle is now a Partner, but cer tainly not a sleeping one, for it is always on the alert to puff the firm, while it appears to be merely engaged in party warfare or personal scurrility. The following is the advertisement this day : " Although in an ordinary case of rupture precautionary treatment generally prevents its getting into a dangerous state, yet even here it is surely a case for regret and solici tude, because, from unexpected causes, it is always liable to a sudden and dangerous aggravation; hut when (ruin acci dent, force, or violence, it has •once passed into a state of strangulation, there is not a case, as an object of surgery, in the whole calendar of human misery, pain, and danger, that so peculiarly demands our sympathy and assistance; nor one, when treated with success, that•does higher honour to the operator and his art. Surely, then, this is not understood, or it would not be laughed at." As the Public however are now let into the secret of this intimate connexion - between The Chronicle and the Institution for the curing of Rap tures, that Paper should no longer be supposed to harbour any malice against Mr. CANNING, to whom, on the contrary, for the interest of The Firm, it redly feels greatly indebted, as by having introduced OoDetsr's case to the notice of Parlia ment, he thereby gave it so apt an occasion for detailing the dreadful effecrs of ruptures, and indirectly pointing out the Institution which is best calculated to afford the Patients relief. Before we conclude this amende honourable, in justice to The Chronicle, for having imputed to it personal rancour, arising from the Litter spleen and rerenge of the Party, on account of Mr. CAN. NING'S late Speech, which certainly overwhelmed them with defeat and mortification (we Were go. rug to say shame, but that is a feeling totally un known to them), we beg leave to observe, that RUPTUREINSTITUTIOU itself iS so respect. able, and so useful to mankind, that we do not think it stands in the least need of any puff ing, direct or indirect, by which its new Pal t ner, The Chronicle might attempt to recom mend., it, and to add oar sincere hopes, that neither The Chronicler, nor any of its Political Pupils, may be suffered to have any concern in the operative part department of the Firm, for as they have all been hitherto only known for hacking and hewing, they may only inflict more torture on the bodies of unhappy Patients in a Chirurgical capacity, than diffuse Jucobinical poison to corrupt the minds of the people in general in their political province. IVe trust that we shall no longer be disgusted with stale trash about the Doctor, since The Chronicle itself has entered into the Medical Profession, and must now be as soli- citous to remove ruptures in one sense, as it has long been anxious to produce them in another. • We are induced to extract these Advertisements from the Neffico-Political Chronicle for public information, as well as to defend that Paper against the probable suspicion of party malignity, in the case of OGDEN.
